Just a quick glance at the 'net:
www.rsc.org.uk/cymbeline/current/actors.html:
Something I've been reading recently pointed to the unbelievable
similarity between the story of Cymbeline and Snow White. For example,
there's
the princess
the poisoning
the terrifying and unknown world
going into a deep sleep

www.hudsonshakespeare.org/cymbelline.htm:
.elements that would feel right at home in Disney movie like Snow White
www.curtainup.com/cymbeline.html:

www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/cymbeline/context.html:

slumber, bear a striking resemblance to fairy tales like "Snow White."

While teaching Hamlet five ears ago, my students proudly drew my
attention to the possibility of finding some hamlet motifs in "Lion King".
